What Is a Good Book About Drug Addiction All the Way Through to Recovery?

Question by moneyshotman101: What is a good book about drug addiction all the way through to recovery?
i dont want like a 12 step book or anything, just one thats gritty and realistic. shows all the bad and the good but doesnt hold back at all. with a great story and plot. pretty much i have someone close to me that wants to learn more about what i went through and am going through. i figure a good way would be for her to read a good book about it. so please give me some recomendations that would help me show ur every aspect of both addiction and recovery also let me know what drug or drugs is specifically about cause one closely related would help to

Well, I’ve read A Million Little Pieces before but I don’t think that would be a great book for your friend. The protaginist basicaly thinks the 12 steps is just bullshit and fights alchoholism on his own….It’s a memoir, but I heard apparently the author is in relapse right now. But it’s still a great read.

I would definitely recommend you a book called Tweak by Nic Sheff. I like his honesty and transparency about his life story.
